852-Page Guide to Drawing Anime Published By Internet's Largest Anime Blogging Community
myOtaku.com, the Internet's largest anime blogging community, has release an innovative step-by-step book to drawing anime. This represents a new kind of publishing, where members both demanded and helped create their own published content.
New York, NY (PRWEB) November 30, 2005 -- myOtaku.com, the Internet's largest anime blogging community, has announced the release of Art of Otaku.
Art of Otaku is a digital step-by-step guide to drawing anime. It was co-authored by eight of myOtaku.com's top anime fan artists. It differs from traditional books in a number of important ways:
* Length: Art of Otaku spans 852 full-color pages. This is 500-600% longer than the traditional paper-bound anime art book.
* Variety: Art of Otaku features the works of 8 of myOtaku.com's top fan artists. Each artist has her own style, so the reader gets broad exposure to different ways of drawing anime. This helps the reader develop their own art style.
* Step-By-Step: Art of Otaku uses a unique step-by-step approach to teaching the reader how to draw anime. Many other guides will expect readers to draw a complex character in only a few steps. Our artists were given strict instructions to use as many steps as humanly possible.
* Tools Covered: Art of Otaku is one of the only anime drawing guides on the market to feature both traditional and next-generation art tools, including pencil, pen, watercolor, and PhotoShop.
* Peer Created: Rather than learning from professionals, readers learn from well-ranked peers. This creates a more comfortable and down-to-earth learning environment. No complicated jargon or ridiculous expectations.
“Art of Otaku is very much a bottom-up, underground publication. It was created on a budget of nothing and almost all of our sales have been to members of our own community,” says James Burns, chief designer of the book. “It's a new approach to publishing. Our community wanted it, members stepped up to write it, and now it's out and sales have been brisk.”
